CVE-2026-32240
Cap'n Proto: Integer overflow in KJ-HTTP chunk size
Description
Cap'n Proto is a data interchange format and capability-based RPC system. Prior to 1.4.0, when using Transfer-Encoding: chunked, if a chunk's size parsed to a value of 2^64 or larger, it would be truncated to a 64-bit integer. In theory, this bug could enable HTTP request/response smuggling. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.4.0.
